5 Days In May - Blue Rodeo Key: Em Intro: Em D Am C Em They met in a hurricane D Standing in the shelter out of the rain Am C She tucked a note into his hand Em Later on they took his car D Drove on down where the beaches are Am C He wrote her name in the sand G F C D Never even let go of her hand Somehow they stayed that way For those 5 days in May Made all the stars around them shine Funny how you can look in vain Living on nerves and such sweet pain The loneliness that cuts so fine To find the face you've seen a thousand times C Sometimes the world begins C To set you up on your feet again Bm D It wipes the tears from your eyes C How will you ever know C The way that circumstances go Bm D Always going to hit you by surprise Am I know my past G/B You were there C Em7/C In everything I've done Em You are the one

Looking back it's hard to tell Why they stood while others fell Spend your life working it out All I know is one cloudy day They both just ran away Rain on the windshield heading South She loved the lines around his mouth

Always look on the bright side of life – Monty Python

Verses Am D7 G Em Am D7 G Em Am D7 G Em A7 A7 D D Chorus G Em Am D7 G Em Am D7 G Em Am D7 G Em Am D7

Some things in life are bad They can really make you mad Other things just make you swear and curse When you're chewing on a large gristle Don't grumble give a whistle And whistles help things turn out for the best And always look on the bright side of life Always look on the light side of life If life seems jolly rotten There's something you've forgotten And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing When you're feeling in the dumps Don't be silly chumps Just purse you're lips and whistle that's the thing And always look... For life is quite absurd And death's the final word You must always face the curtain with a bow Forget about your sin Give the audience a grin Enjoy it's you're last chance anyhow So always look on the bright side of death Just before you draw your terminal breath Life's a piece of shit When you look at it Life's laugh and death's a joke it's true You see it's all in a show Keep them laughing as you go Just remember that the last laugh is on you And always look on the bright side of life ... (repeat and fade)

Blue Wing – Tom Russell C He had a Blue Wing tattooed on his shoulder. Well it might have been a Dm blue bird I don't know. G But he'd get stone drunk and talk about Alaska. Salmon boats and forty- C five below C He said he got that Blue Wing up in Walla Walla. Where his cellmate there Dm was a little Willy John Dm G Willy he was once a great blues singer. And Wing and Willy wrote him up a C song: CHORUS C F C He said its dark in here…can't see the sky. But I look at this Blue Wing G and I close my eyes C F C Then I fly away, beyond these walls… Up above the clouds, where the rain G don’t fall Am G Am G On a poor man’s dreams… (yaa, On a poor man’s dreams, yaa) C Well they paroled Blue Wing in August, 1963 C Dm And he moved on pickin’ apples to the town of Wenatchee. Dm Winter finally caught him in a run down trailer park, G C On the south side of Seattle where the days grow gray and dark C And he drank and he dreamt a vision of when the salmon still swam free C Dm And his father’s father’s crossed that wide old Bering Sea. Dm And the land belonged to everyone, and there were old songs left to sing. Dm G C Now it’s narrowed down to a cheap hotel and a tattooed prison wing. Chorus C Well he drank his way to L.A. and that’s where he died. But no one knew his Christian name C Dm And there was no one there to cry. But I dreamt there was a service. Dm A preacher and an old pine box. Dm G C And halfway through the sermon you know Blue Wing began to talk Chorus

Folsom Prison Blues Johnny Cash G I hear the train acoming it's rolling round the bend G7 and I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when C G I'm stuck at Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin' on D7 G But that train keeps rollin' on down to San Antone G When I was just a baby my Mama told me 'Son G7 always be a good boy; don't ever play with guns. C G But I shot the man in Reno, just to watch him die D7 G when I hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry I’ll bet there’s rich folk eatin’ in a fancy dinin’ car They’re probably drinkin’ coffee and smokin’ big cigars I know I had it comin’, I know I can’t be free But those people keep a movin’ and that’s what tortures me. Well if they freed me from this prison. . . If that railroad train was mine I bet I’d move it on a little farter down the line Far from Folsom Prison that where I want to stay And I’d let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away

Girl from the north country – Bob Dylan G Bm C G (4X) Well, if you're travelin' in the north country fair, Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline, Remember me to one who lives there. She once was a true love of mine. Well, if you go when the snowflakes storm, When the rivers freeze and summer ends, Please see if she's wearing a coat so warm, To keep her from the howlin' winds. Please see for me if her hair hangs long, If it rolls and flows all down her breast. Please see for me if her hair hangs long, That's the way I remember her best. I'm a-wonderin' if she remembers me at all. Many times I've often prayed In the darkness of my night, In the brightness of my day. So if you're travelin' in the north country fair, Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline, Remember me to one who lives there. She once was a true love of mine.

I Will Survive – Gloria Gaynor Am Am Dm7 Dm7G G CM7 CM7F F B7 B7 E E E7 E7

Verse 1 At first I was afraid, I was petrified I kept thinking I could never live without you by my side But then I spent so many nights just thinking how you'd done me wrong I grew strong, I learned how to get along And so you're back, from outer space I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face I should have changed that stupid lock, I would have made you leave your key If I'd have known for just one second you'd be back to bother me Chorus Oh, now go, walk out the door Just turn around, now, you're not welcome anymore Weren't you the one who tried to break me with desire Did you think I'd crumble, did you think I'd lay down and die Oh not I, I will survive, yeah As long as I know how to love I know I'll be alive I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give I will survive, I will survive, yeah yeah! Verse 2 It took all the strength I had just not to fall apart I'm trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart and I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high And you see me with somebody new I'm not that stupid little person still in love with you And so you thought you'd just drop by and you expect me to be free but now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me Repeat Chorus

If I Was The Woman And You Were The Man

John Prine

If I was the woman and you were the man Would you send me yellow roses? Would you dare to kiss my hand?

In the morning would you caress me as the wind caresses the sand,

If I was the woman and you were the man?

If I was the heart and you were the head Would you think me very foolish

if one day I decided to shed these walls that surround me

just to see where these feelings led, if I was the heart and you were the head?

If I was the woman and you were the man

Would you laugh if I came to you with my heart in my hand

and said, I offer you this freely and will give you all that I can because you are the woman

and I am the man?

Bm F#m Lying next to her by the ocean Em D Reaching out and touching her hand, Bm F#m Whispering your secret emotion G A Magic in a magical land. And when it's time for leaving Mozambique To say goodbye to sand and sea, You turn around to take a final peek And you see why it's so unique to be Among the lovely people living free Upon the beach of sunny Mozambique.

And now, the end is near; And so I face the final curtain. My friend, I'll say it clear, I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.

I've lived a life that's full. I've traveled each and ev'ry highway; But more, much more than this, I did it my way.

Regrets, I've had a few; But then again, too few to mention. I did what I had to do And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course; Each careful step along the byway, But more, much more than this, I did it my way.

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew When I bit off more than I could chew. But through it all, when there was doubt, I ate it up and spit it out. I faced it all and I stood tall; And did it my way.

I've loved, I've laughed and cried. I've had my fill; my share of losing. And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing.

To think I did all that; And may I say - not in a shy way, "No, oh no not me, I did it my way".

For what is a man, what has he got? If not himself, then he has naught. To say the things he truly feels; And not the words of one who kneels. The record shows I took the blows - And did it my way!

Old Home Place by J.D. Crowe & The New South *Capo 3rd Fret G B7 C G It's been ten long years since I left my home G D In the hollow where I was born. G B7 C G Where the cool fall nights make the wood smoke rise, G D G And a fox hunter blows his horn. I fell in love with a girl from the town I thought that she would be true. I ran away to Charlottesville and worked in a sawmill or two. (Chorus) D G What have they done to the old home place, A D Why did they tear it down? G B7 C G And why did I leave the plow in the field, G D G and look for a job in the town. Well, the girl ran off with somebody else the taverns took all my pay. And here I stand where the old home stood before they took it away. Now the geese fly south and the cold wind moans as I stand here and hang my head. I've lost my love, I've lost my home and now I wish that I was dead.

One Tin Soldier

Guitar chords Verses C G Am Am F C Dm7 G7 C G Am Am F C Dm7 G7 Chorus C Em F C C Em F C C Em F C C C F C

Listen, children, to a story That was written long ago, 'Bout a kingdom on a mountain And the valley-folk below. On the mountain was a treasure Buried deep beneath the stone, And the valley-people swore They'd have it for their very own. Go ahead and hate your neighbor, Go ahead and cheat a friend. Do it in the name of Heaven, You can justify it in the end. There won't be any trumpets blowing Come the judgement day, On the bloody morning after.... One tin soldier rides away. So the people of the valley Sent a message up the hill, Asking for the buried treasure, Tons of gold for which they'd kill. Came an answer from the kingdom, "With our brothers we will share All the secrets of our mountain, All the riches buried there." Chorus Now the valley cried with anger, "Mount your horses! Draw your sword!" And they killed the mountain-people, So they won their just reward. Now they stood beside the treasure, On the mountain, dark and red. Turned the stone and looked beneath it... "Peace on Earth" was all it said. Chorus (2x)

Oregon; I Can’t Go Home – Blackhawk County Verses Am G F F G Am G F F G Am G F F G Am G F F G Chorus Am G F F G Am G F Em F G F G Am G F F G

They say the Oregon rain will get you down, But I hunger for the freshness of its sound The wind, the sun, the things that I have known before, Now seem like faded ghosts, like shadows on the floor I live in Oregon, Oregon's my home ... I love the trees, the hills, the places I have roamed ... I long to be there, I long to be there with my own kind!

Let me roam endless hours on my own ... Take me home, back to where green trees grow ... I feel so lonely and forgotten in this place ... I'm losing hope, my mind is troubled by disgrace ... I live in Oregon, Oregon's my home ... I love the trees, the hills, the places I have roamed ... I long to be there, I long to be there with my own kind!

I've painted pictures on the blank walls of my cell ... I've walked through countless dreams no mortal words can tell ... I feel how lonely and forgotten I could be ... My heart is crying out to those who hold the key ... I live in Oregon, Oregon's my home ... I love the trees, the hills, the places I have roamed ... I long to be there, I long to be there with my own kind! I can't go home ...

Paradise

D G D When I was a child, my family would travel

D A Down to western Kentucky where my parents were born D G D And there's a backwards old town that's often remembered D A D So many times that my mem'ries are worn And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County Down by the Green River where Paradise lay Well, I'm sorry, my son, but you're too late in asking Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away Well sometimes we'd travel right down the Green River To the abandoned old prison down by Adrie Hill Where the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot with our pistols But empty pop bottles was all we would kill And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County Down by the Green River where Paradise lay Well, I'm sorry, my son, but you're too late in asking Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away And the coal company came with the world's largest shovel And they tortured the timber and stripped all the land Well, they dug for their coal till the land was forsaken Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County Down by the Green River where Paradise lay Well, I'm sorry, my son, but you're too late in asking Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County Down by the Green River where Paradise lay Well, I'm sorry, my son, but you're too late in asking Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away Words and music by John Prine

Ripple by the Grateful Dead G C If my words did sing with the voice of sunshine, C G and my tunes were played on the harp unstrung, G C would you hear my voice come thru the music, G D C G would you hold it close as if were your own? It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken, perhaps they're better left unsaid. I don't know, don't really care, let there be songs to fill the air. Chorus: Am D Ripple in still water, C when there is no pebble tossed, Am D nor wind to blow. Reach out your hand if your cup be empty, if your cup is full may it be again, let it be known there is a fountain, that was not made by the hands of men. There is a road, no simple highway, Between the dawn and the dark of night, and if you go no one may follow, that path is for your steps alone. Chorus: Ripple in still water, when there is no pebble tossed, nor wind to blow. You who choose to lead, must follow, but if you fall, you fall alone, if you should stand, then who's to guide you? If I knew the way I would take you home. Chorus:

Camper Van Beethoven Sad Lover's Waltz

One step for boys, one step for girls, step away One step for you, one step for me, step away

Don't take the third step, 'cuz that's just the sad lovers' waltz Don't take the third step, 'cuz that's just the sad lovers' waltz

One step for anger, one step for pain, step away One step for right, one step for wrong, step away

Don't take the third step, 'cuz that's just a sad lover's waltz Don't take the third step, 'cuz that's just a sad lover's waltz

One step for boys, one step for girls, step away One step for you, one step for me, step away

One more step makes three, and three steps a waltz Don't take the third step, cuz that's just a sad lover's waltz

The Last Cowboy Song - The Highwaymen

Chorus (all together): D This is the last cowboy song G The end of a hundred year waltz A The voices sound sad as they're singing along D Another piece of America is lost Verse 1:(Waylon Jennings) D He rides the feed lots,works in a market A On weekend selling tobacco and beer He dreams of tommorrow surrounded by fences D But he'll dream tonight of when fences weren't here Verse 2:(Kris Kristofferson) D He blazed the trail with Lewis and Clark A And eyeball to eyeball old Wyatt backed down He stood shoulder to shoulder with Travis in Texas D And rode with the Seventh when Custer went down Chorus. Verse 3:(Willie Nelson) D Remington showed us how he looked on canvas A And Louis Lamour told us his tale Me and Johnny and Waylon and Kris sing about him D And wish to God we could have ridden his trail Verse 4:(spoken-Johnny Cash) and the three others sing the chorus. D The old chisom trail is covered in concrete G They truck it to market in fifty foot rigs A They roll by his graveside and don't even notice D Like living and dieing was all he ever did Chorus.

Turn The Page – Bob Seger Em On a long and lonesome highway east of Omaha D You can listen to the engine moanin out as one lone song A Em You can think about the woman, or the girl you knew the night before Em But your thoughts will so be wandering the way they always do D When you're riding sixteen hours and there's nothing much to do A Em And you don't feel much like ridin; you just wish the trip was through CHORUS D Em Say here I am, on the road again D Em There I am, up on the stage D A Here I go, playing the star again C D Em There I go, turn the page You walk into a restaurant, strung out from the road And you feel the eyes upon you, as you're shaking off the cold You pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explode Most times you can't hear 'em talk, other times you can All the same 'ole cliche's is that a woman or a man And you always seem outnumbered; you don't dare make a stand CHORUS Out there in the spotlight, you're a million miles away Every ounce of energy, you try to give away As the sweat pours out your body, like the music that you play Later in the evening, as you lie awake in bed With the echo's of the amplifiers, ringin in your head You smoke the day's last cigarette, remembering what you said CHORUS D Em Aah Here I am, on the road again D Em There I am, up on the stage D A Here I go, playing the star again C There I go D There I go

You Ain't Goin' Nowhere Bob Dylan [G]Clouds so swift, [Am]rain won't lift, [C]Gates won't close, the [G]railing's froze. Get your mind off [Am]winter time, [C]You ain't goin' no[G]where. Chorus [G]Oooo, Eeeee, [Am]Ride me high, [C]One of these days my [G]bride's gonna come. Oh Lord, [Am]we gonna fly, [C]Down in the easy [G]chair. I don't care how many letters they sent, Morning came and morning went. Pick up your money and pack your tent, But we still ain't goin' nowhere. Chorus Buy me a flute and a gun that shoots, Tailgates and substitutes, Strap yourself with the tree with roots, You ain't goin' nowhere. Chorus Ghengis Khan he could not keep All his kings supplied with reap. Climb that hill no matter how steep, We still ain't goin' nowhere. Chorus
